husky 346xp my first choice:thumbup:

rigging does not need CE tennex is hollowbraid not 3 strand

i meant diameter for a processor

whats the ideal log size for productivity???

230 would be my call for him but 181 is not as crap as some think

grow some flowers save you buying another bunch for the wife:biggrin: while your at it grow some for mine:thumbup:

likewise but i just have a 3g and new one is supposed to be better

check the speed adjuster is on full or has not vibrated closed happened to me once

HSE police here 7 tooth sprocket comes as standard but beware 8 or 9 may put you over the limit sir:blushing:

goes better with 18" on 395:thumbup:

thats fine whilst they accept that but why put themselves at risk I dont think it,s us thats a special case most quals have a full expiry date which nptc have fought hiab,mewp,crane,cpcs, cta plant, and now HGV to name a few and as i say what would happen if they decided not to accept you word that you know what your doing the time and work you could stand to loose as well as letting another company get a foot in the door. again just my opinion and this is my last post on this thread as i would like it not to be seen as my crusade and there may be others with differing views:thumbup: This is not aimed at you dave this is aimed at anyone

surprised i run 18" and thats fine i run 24" on a 395

what could be done to reduce nerves do you think or is that it test is a test and we get ourselves worked up:confused1:

well done congratulations hope you were settled and enjoyed the assessment were you better prepared or was the nerves kicking in

Nice one AA this will be interesting will await the discussions with anticipation I think this should be a big impact on the industry and arbtalk

not been funny but in time if you want to go for contracts with reputable firms or LA ect your tender will not even be looked at even public have asked me for proof on quals ect as when tpo consent is given this leaflet is sometimes sent Leaflet "Treework - Choosing your Arborist" tbh if you are planning on doing trees for several years to come why fight what will inevitably cost you work which IMO is silly As a seperate point the HSE are running a series of FREE workshops around the country for folk that contract work out and most of them are already FULL When i have been on mine on the 28th April I will enlighten you on what is suggested to be required. I for 1 would not give out any work to unqualified or non compliant company,s as if anything goes wrong MY neck would be on the line for not checking or enforcing So may be worth considering what you may be loosing rather than bitching and carrying on or stick your heads in the sand and watch compliant firms grow as you shrivel up:confused1:

not getting into this but even truck drivers now have to do update training or they will lose there licence by 2014 so think of a different one:thumbup:

as you say i am an assessor not an instructor so make NO money from updates not that that makes a difference to what,s right and wrong

makes a nice table:thumbup:

I have both and i personally think they are important and yes if you have 20 21 22 if anything happened and they were called into question you would need to have proof of refresher training or updates and certainly the equipment has changed a lot over the years so I dont think there unjustified I personally would not let you climb on my jobs without as you would be on MY insurance and i could be held liable for non compliance and all that malarkey:001_tt2:

cheers for that I knew it was something like that:thumbup:

can i borrow it mozza as long as it,s still in readable condition and the pages not all smudged and stuck together asked for 1 but never turned up:thumbdown:

as i believe helmets are not VAT exempt unless they are bought complete with ear muffs and visor:biggrin: so buy complete and most of the muffs are paid for by the nice vat man rather than complaining should we not be thanking the vat man for a few concessions

I thought that was a nice simple over view tbh we can all pull fault with some parts of any video there is. 2 main things came to my mind as it was done for lantra 1 I think the choice of tree could of been better I think that many would have suggested a mewp for a dead tree like that 2 I would of expected to have seen spikes on the climbers feet could nit pick but don't think this should be a critical thread again:biggrin:

:thumbup:you thought the same then:thumbup: great minds and all that stuff
